There is a lot of camaraderie and laughter. The trainers watch out for you and always have modifications ready if there is a certain move you can't do. I always walk out sweaty and tired in the best way. This has been my first experience with weightlifting. I joined up after doing a month of physical therapy for chronic pain. I was very worried about feeling pressure to go too heavy or too fast, but instead I've gotten a lot of encouragement to go at my own pace and to focus on correct form. LeeAnn is especially caring and really looks out for her clients. She listens to you and puts a lot of thought and personalization into the individual sessions based on your needs and abilities. Somehow she always knows how to keep me challenged and doing things I didn't know I could do!

I didn't want to join yet another gym when my needs are simple. I like the pay-as-you go feature of the service as it motivates me to keep going.

Pretty stoked about this place…read more I've seen a number of gyms and trainers off/on over the years, but this team has it *dialed in*, in all directions. Method Fitness business communication is absolutely professional -- from person-to-person communication, to email, to text alerts/reminders, even being greeted at door, it's all easy, correct, and smooth. My intake interview alone basically "sold" me -- Mateo and talked a lot, I unloaded a ton of stuff about details and goals and issues, and he heard every damn word and absolutely nothing was missed. Zero. He then rolled it into a perfect trainer selection for me. No surprises. I get text reminders about the sessions, and all the staff work together as a team, as a single team, from the moment you walk in the door. The facilities are perfect for meeting fitness goals. It's not a zoo of machines and noise and clutter and random people. There's plenty of space and all the right tools are there. There may be few other people there during my time slot, I feel like my trainer and I 'own' the the whole gym. No waiting for anything. No distractions, no wasted time. Where Method *really* shines is the quality of their programming. I came in with all sorts of history, glitches, ideas, and goals, but they surprised me with more. My beastly and superb trainer, Jack Walter, pays laser attention and is addressing stuff in *hours* that I had not fully seen, and uncovers things I never even noticed! And then he immediately finds a way to address it. The excitement of "actually getting somewhere" is real. These Method guys are *not* picking some rando workout plan out of a hat: it's absolutely tailored. I can't tell you how encouraging this is and how much hope it builds. For older folks, they put a special eye on mobility, injuries, and chronic issues and then target them for fixes. Speaking of workout plan -- I didn't know Method, and they didn't know me, and they had the steady professional foresight to schedule in a few "figure things out" sessions to see where I was, and how I responded to training before -- I repeat, before -- starting a regular routine. This way, they know the regular plan will address my particular needs, and that I'll respond to it successfully. Like I said: Absolutely Professional. Short Story, this is all after just a few weeks. I walked into this place thinking "OK, I'll try a handful of sessions" ....and now? My weights are going up every time. My flexibility and stability are improving. And I feel like I am going to be like the other people we see in the comments who go long and deep with this team. Really hope to see you in the gym! Get in for the free consult! All the best to your success!

Runners -- THIS is your place!…read more I joined MAD this summer for a month trial membership and was impressed with the support, technical and individualized coaching, variety of movements, and early results. I was starting marathon training and was initially hesitant about investing in a strength gym with scheduled classes. How could these types of workouts fit into a distance running training plan? MADabolic Arlington showed me. I cannot speak more highly of Julianne and the coaches at MADabolic Arlington. Julianne provided a clear, 20-week training plan that included MAD workouts, speed/hill workouts, long runs, and rest days. Their team helped me build full-body strength, prevent injuries, build mental discipline and resiliency (5:00 static effort, anyone?!), increase aerobic fitness, improve flexibility and range of motion, relieve stress, find value in rest/active recovery days, improve body composition (including bone density), and feel strong. I saw the results. The past few months helped me to run more than 40 minutes faster than last year's marathon time, with my fastest splits of the race in my last 5K. Without injuries. MAD class 3 days per week and running 2-3 days per week. I was a collegiate heptathlete 20 years ago and I am continually amazed what my body and mind are now capable of. I'm back! -- and post-race, I'm making more gains. Whether you are a seasoned runner or athlete, or pursuing formal strength training for the first time, MADabolic Arlington is the right place to invest in yourself and your fitness goals.

I have never met a group that cares so much about the health and well being of others that they spend nearly every waking moment studying and teaching people about how to move better, faster, and stronger. The training programs they write are based on years of study and research and they individualize it to a persons needs. They first give you an assessment in which they take videos and analyze specific movement patterns to find strengths and weaknesses. They then use the information to design an intelligent, safe and highly effective program to you or your athlete the competitive edge. If you are unsure just go and talk to them yourself and you will instantly see their passion and devotion to make you and your athlete better. Don't hesitate and go and get that edge.

One was already in college and just wanted to get fit, the other was a swimmer who was getting ready for his senior year in high school. Their training was instrumental in his getting personal bests during high school swim and helped get him on a DIII college swim team and he was sad when he finally had to give up SAPT to go to college. Our daughter continued to get ready for her club volleyball season, but suffered an ACL tear an had to have full reconstruction surgery in January of 2021. She was back at SAPT only about two weeks later, with the doctor's blessing, and they worked on her upper body and healthy leg. When she was able to start PT on her knee, Hunter, her SAPT coach, was able to work with that PT so the PT worked on flexibility while SAPT worked on strength. She shocked the doctor at her check ups, as there is usually significant atrophy in the injured leg but she hardly had any. She came back stronger than ever, thanks to her trainers at SAPT, and had an amazing u17's club volleyball season and it looks like she'll be playing DI! I would highly recommend SAPT for any athlete, or anyone who just wants to get into shape!!!!

If you're looking to set a new PR for the Ironman or just don't want to feel out of breath when reaching for the remote, go see them. They're right in the heart of Tysons Corner and their facilities have state of the art equipment, a massage therapist and a sauna. Extra points for being super clean. Also, I LOVE the treadmills with the built-in TV screens... takes my mind off how much longer I have to suffer. Additionally, Jeff and Christa help train a few local college teams.

First: if you're nervous about this CrossFit-type of set up, let that go. Whether you feel like your body isn't strong enough or you don't know what you're doing, push that aside and walk in -- they'll meet you exactly where you are. Second: it's liberating not having to carry the mental weight of designing your own workout and then willing yourself through it. Here, you can offload all of that & just show up. The coaches handle the rest. Some days I walk in thinking "this is going to be a bad one, I'm just not feeling it today" -- and walk out having had a great workout. Those are some of my favorite days. Third: college sports were long ago at this point. It's great to remember I can push through discomfort and do hard things. That feeling shows up in the rest of my life.
